They fled repression.They left homes, titles, property. They left behind the familiar, knowing the state could claim their children, strip their rights, and erase their voice.They arrived in this country with nothing but a name and the belief that we would be free.And now, here I am.A li...

炫霖社會退縮（Social Withdrawl）進黑暗小窟窿，躲到有女友保護的日本去了，他發生什麼事呢？
他用芥川龍之介的短篇小說〈蜘蛛の糸〉來學日文，還讀英文《1984》，要不要這麼上進？
因應我們想轉型為文政學部的嘗試，竟然就發生大事了，於是也聊聊對國會職權修法爭議的想法，結果根本畏畏縮縮。
對了這集錄製時間是6月初，當時對資訊、雙方陳述的掌握也較少，或許之後再找專家哥哥姐姐來啟迪了。
但為什麼會聊國會職權爭議，乃是為了連結到這個月的文本《新左運動與公民社會》
現在日本社會很是冷淡，他們看到台灣國會吵鬧還會由衷讚嘆：真是熱情的民主主義啊～
但戰後沒多久的1960、1970年代，日本其實也經歷風起雲湧的學生運動、社會運動潮，
可是後來怎麼了？為什麼後來的日本陷入長期了社運冷漠，這又對公民社會產生什麼衝擊？
不過這集還來不及聊到書本身，只是先用台灣現況幫日本過去起個頭😋

Life Imitates TorahBehar-Bechukotai 5781Parashat Behar teaches the laws of shemittah from an agrarian perspective; farmers work the land for six years, and then take a complete break for the 7th. Devarim's version of shemittah focuses on the financial components of shemittah, specifically the remittance of loans to fellow Jews every 7 years. In this week's episode we examine these two forms of shemittah in greater detail, and discuss the implications for American society and alleviating the vast wealth gap.
